Home Care Basics: Getting Started in Home Health Setting
Course Description
Home health is a growing post-acute care practice area for rehabilitation therapists. Home is the location most older adults choose to be even if health care is needed. Working in home care provides the rehab clinician with the opportunity to work one-one-one with each client and to provide services in the most functional setting. Home care offers both pros and cons to the rehab clinician; getting started in the home health setting can be an easier transition when the clinician is well prepared for this work.
This lecture based webinar will cover the key regulatory elements of Home Health as well as the knowledge, skills and abilities to help the new clinician to home care thrive.
